More importantly, I think that there's some truth to the general gist of
Churchill's comments. His point was that we are ALL complicit in the
origin of terrorism. Terrorists didn't just appear out of nowhere. As
awful as their tactics are, their motivations are related to our
demonstrably unfair and in some cases highly disruptive meddling in Middle
Eastern affairs. Inasmuch as we as Americans continue to tolerate our
government's paternalistic and selfish behavior in the Middle East, we are
just as guilty as our government itself.


You know, Peter, I can't decide which is worse: Having a person in academic
authority like Churchill teaching this kind of tripe to our youth, or having
a relatively intelligent member of our society like you exercising moral
relativism (on such a grand scale!) in defense of an indefensible position.

Hell, I don't believe in God most days, but even I can tell right from
wrong. Blaming the victims in the World Trade Center for being complicit in
their own deaths is just so incredibly wrong, I don't even know were to
start. How can anyone possibly argue with someone who has absolutely no
moral belief system whatsoever? There's nothing to push against, or for.

I'll say this about it, though: Your post better illustrates everything
that is wrong with the Left, and its "nothing is black and white in a gray
world" philosophy, than anything I could have ever said.
